his crazy-blue eyes. His brow dropped, but that glint of amusement lingered. “You’re not into that, are you?”
    “What…bondage?”
    He nodded.
    Grace’s stomach tightened again. “I don’t know. I’ve never tried it. You’re the one who was teasing last night about whips-and-chains romances. Have you?”
    He shook his head. But his eyes… They were definitely interested.
    Thoughts pinged around in Grace’s mind. And every dirty one involving him, and her, a length of rope, and a blindfold. Warm liquid seemed to spread all through her lower body. Suddenly the thought of him tying her up and doing all those naughty things to her didn’t sound so bad.
    Arousal speared through her body, making her thighs burn with the need to feel him everywhere. She leaned forward and pressed her mouth to the edge of his cold lips. “I think you could be trouble for me , Brian Walker.”
    He turned his head and captured her mouth so quickly, so possessively, she groaned. His tongue slipped past her lips, scraping over her teeth as he took a deep, electrifying taste. Her muscles loosened. She sank into his kiss. Forgot about the snow and how cold her nose was and the fact there were people on the slopes all around them. She only wanted more. More of him.
    She was panting by the time he pulled back.
    “Grace,” he said softly, those deep blue eyes gazing into hers, making her feel like he was looking all the way into her soul. “I really like you. More than I expected. And I want you to know I didn’t plan this. I never should have talked to you in the bar last night, but I couldn’t help myself. You’re just… You’re not at all what I expected. You…dazzle me. You really do. And I haven’t been dazzled in a very long time. I forgot what it was like.”
    His words caused Grace’s internal fires to flip to Sizzle. Her lips curved, and she lifted her mouth back to his. “You dazzle me too, Brian. More than you know.”
    Snow swished close by as Grace was pressing her mouth against Brian’s again. Laughter floated in the air, and muffled voices echoed around her. Abruptly, Brian pulled away.
    “What did you say?” he called, twisting to look down the hill.
    Two twenty-something snowboarders had stopped ten feet from them, Grace realized. The one wearing a red cap looked their direction.
    “You didn’t hear about it?” he called. “Cops are all over the resort. Someone broke into a couple of the rooms. Dude, it’s like CSI down there. Fucking cool.”
    The two snowboarders took off, and Brian was on his feet before Grace even saw him move. He grabbed her by the arms and hauled her up. “Come on.”
    “Wh—” Grace wobbled but found her balance. Brian handed her the poles she’d dropped and bent to fix his binding. “Why the rush?”
    “I want to check out what’s happening down there.”
    That dark look was back in his eyes. She frowned as she brushed the snow off her jacket and ski pants, perplexed by his shift in mood. One second he’d been flirting with her, making her think about all kinds of naughty, X-rated scenarios, and the next he was acting like it was the furthest thing from his mind.
    He took off down the hill, made a turn, and looked back at her. “Aren’t you coming?”
    Grace’s frown deepened. Yeah, unfortunately she was, but not in the way she wanted.

    Brian had a bad feeling brewing in the pit of his stomach. And if there was one thing he’d learned to trust over the years, it was that feeling, because it had kept him alive in some pretty shitty situations.
    They stepped off the elevator on Grace’s floor, and that feeling jumped tenfold when she saw the collection of police officers halfway down the hall. He leaned close to Grace. “Stay behind me.”
    “That’s my room they’re in,” Grace exclaimed, not listening.
    She moved in front of him, but he caught her by the hand and pulled her back. “Let me find out what’s going on.”
    She nodded, but he could see
